Among the decisions of the Court of
Errors and Appeals, handed down on
Saturday, was one concerning dealer at
Red Bank and mercantile agency iE
New York. This was an interesting case,
as 1t concerns the relations of the so.called
mercantile agencies to their customers.
The agency 10 question informed its sub
scribers that chattle mortgage had been
put on the goods of the Red Bank dealer,
who were among the subscribers of the
agency, and they came down upon the
dealer, demanding security for goods sold
on credit The statement of the agency
was untrue, and the dealer brought suit
for libel. The lower court awarded dam
ages to the amount Of $3, 900; the agency
appealed, and the court of last resort has
now affirmed the decision of the court be.
low. 1t was claimed on behalf of the
commercial agency that the alleged in
formation in regard to the chattle mort
gage was In nature Of a privileged
communication. But this was a mis-
statement and was likely to injure the
credit and business Of the dealer. II cer-
tainly did have that effect, whether in
tentionally or not. Commercial agencies
must be accurate in their statements con
corning the business standing of objects
of their references.

The Lust Block.

The laying of the last block of marble
to be used in the New City Hail. Phila-
delpha, which took place on Saturday,
was an interesting event. 1t marked the
completion of an advanced stage in the
erection of the greatest and most impos-
ing pile of buildings which has ever been
raised upon this side of the Atlantic
Ocean. While there has been the usual
amount of unthinking or captious COM
ment upon what was called the slow rate
at which the great structure has gone up,
the truth is that the completion of so vast
a work as that done by the contractors
within SO brief period is an achievement
which is probably without parallel in
the annals Of architecture. The corner
stone was laid on July 4, 1874, and the
twelve years which have not quite elapsed
since then is not = great while within
which TO finish an undertaking of such
magnitude as the marble work In the
Public Buildings. 1t is short indeed COM
pared with the time occupied In the cree
tion of the great buildings Of by-gone
ages.

John @. Calhoun thought that slavery
was the best form OF labor known to the
world. He said II hold that there has
never yet existed wealthy and civilized
society in which one portion Of the COM
munity did not, in point of fact, live on
the labor of the other. There is,
and always has been, in an advanced
stage OF wealth and civilization, con-
Aict between labor aud capital. The
condition OF society in the South ex-
empts us from the disorders and dangers
resulting from this conflict. And the
experience of the next generation will
fully test how much more favorable our
condition Of society is than that of the

cHrArER ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

There is good deal Of excitement
among electricians 10 New York over
new discovery made by Prof Pennock,
well known electrician. According to The
Electrical Recissc, this discovery consists
of the fact that electricity can be genera
ted 10 large quantities and at low cost
without the use of dynamo or other
friction-producing machine, and simply
By certain combination of acids and
zine. The discovery further embraces
the coating Of the zinc with a substance
which renders it iudestructible for period
of several months.
Until the present time 1t has been
generally accepted by electricians that in
candeacent lighting by means of primary
batteries cnuld never be made practical
success, as the cells would need fresh
charge of liquid every few hours. This
theory Mr.. Pennock's ingenuity has
shown to be fallacious, and 1t is admitted
that his discovery opens up an entirely
new vista In electrical lighting.
A private exhibition of the new light
was given April 10 before a number of
electricians at the Standard Electric Com
pany's laboratory in New York. After
the electricians present had been invited
could attest with scientific formality that
there were no concealed wires connected
with an unseen motor power, number of
lights were turned on. These lights burn
ed clear, steady and strong, yielding each
light of some twenty candle power
The assembled scientists pronounced the
light thoroughly satisfactory ia every re-
spect. The President of the company
then announced that the light had been
put to test in large clothing store, aud
that its practical working success has
been amply proven.
Under this system electric lights can be
introduced anywhere without the expense
of costly and elaborate plants. At pres
ent 1t is impracticable to furnish light ex-
cept 10 comparatively thickly populated
districts, owing to the high cost of pro-
duction. Under the new system sparsely
settled districts and even isolated build.
ings can be furnished with the light; aud
10 cities the cost of electric lighting un-
der the old system win be very materially
reduced.

Death of Daniel p. Forst.

Death of Daniel p. Forst.
Daniel p. Forst, of Trenton, head OF
the wholesale grocery house of D. P.
Forst & Co., and President of the Me-
ehanics National Bank, died suddenly OF
neuralgia of the heart at half.past four
o'clock Monday afternoon. He was at his
home, No. 70 Clinton avenue, having
been indisposed, but not seriously i'll,
since last Saturday noon. He was at the
bank Saturday morning and at 12 o'clock,
it being stormy, he concluded to go home
and remain there during the day. He
was suffering from neuralgia around the
shoulders and neck and he was bothered
with 1t constantly up to his last hour.
On Sunday evening physician was called
IN and after the use of some simple reme-
dies he felt better. On Monday after
noon be was lying on lounge In the
second story sitting room aud Mrs. Forst
sat beside him reading newspaper articles
to him. At half.past four while they
were thus engaged he suddenly threw up
his arms aud exclaimed as IL in pain. In
the next Instant he was dead, having ut
tered not word. Mrs. Forst gave an
alarm and Mr.. Packer and other neigh
bors went after physicians. Drs. Wool
verton, Rogers, Bodine and Williams re.
sponded, but of course their services were
not required.
Mr.. Forst was born in New Hope, Pa,
in 1922. He went to Bristol, Pa, when

Five years later the firms name was
changed to Forst, Taylor & Co., several
junisr members being taken In. The
firm removed to its present place Of bust
ness on the opposite side OF the same cor.
ner 10 1858. In October, 1870, Mr.. Tay.
lor withdrew from the firm, and Mr..
Skirm, who Is still in the business, step
ped in his place.
Deceased was a manager of the Tren-
ton Savings Fund, and one of the Board
of Directors of the Children's Home, In
which he took very great interest. He

said that he carried life insurance to the
amount of $4,000 He leaves widow,
and two sons and two daughters, all
grown.
Mr.. Forst's first wife was daughter oil
